Greenpeace briefing on the data compiled by the ICCAT Secretariat in document COC-303/2010.

Unsold bluefin tuna amounting to as much as 10,200 tonnes could still be kept alive in cages in Mediterranean tuna farms at the start of the 2010 Mediterranean bluefin fishing season. This figure is close to the whole quota for the species this year, when the allocated Eastern bluefin tuna Total Allowable Catch has been 13,500 tonnes.
